Chapter 52- Rena on drugs.

Rena

Rena watched with shock as Ray broke into Tier 10. The second wave of new mana in the last five minutes. Ray must have been close with the last one. The wave of mana lit him up as he ski...

Chapter 51- Had the ice...just helped him?

Ray

Ray walked towards the opposite wall hesitantly. The wall seemed normal, even to his mana vision, but that didn’t make any sense. So he lit it on fire. A typical wall wouldn't catch fir...

Chapter 49- The attack has now begun.

Ray moved closer, ready to attack, but the man moved too fast. The sword had collided with Norman before Ray could do anything. The skill of someone far more powerful than Ray. And then t...

Ray

"So, they're going for the big drop, are they?" Gordon said. "Are they planning to directly kill the Emperor, or just go public with their rebellion?" The excitement in his voice was palp...

Chapter 46- Why are the Deans just so nosy?

Chapter 45- A meeting gone very wrong.

"So it's a gamble." Marcus noted.

"On one side, on the other we'd be counting on our own capabilities." Rena said.

Chapter 40- What do you mean the dean is actually a decent Alchemist?

“I have lived with not knowing what these items are for quite a long time.” the Dean said.

“The crown is a Fae heirloom.” Ray tempted.

“Ok, deal.” the Dean said, sighing. View Post

Chapter 39- Ray on drugs. Or is it mana? Is there a difference?

“Oh, don’t look at me like that! I am not going to snatch it from you. I am pretty sure that it’s not even possible to do so.” the Dean said.

Ray looked at him suspiciously,...

Trevor sighed as he walked away from the battle area. The mongoose were still around, but he didn’t have the will to fight for them anymore. Corriss and his lot would have it anyway....

Ray decided to do a little bit of both. Green glitter led grass to grow on the cracks, as yellow glitter lit it up, all while Ray did not show his face. The beasts died in hordes, falling prey to h...
